The Long Beach Township Water Department will conduct its annual flushing of the distribution system from March 7, 2011 until the end of May 2011. A temporary slight discoloration of the water and a decrease of pressure may be noted as a result of the opening of fire hydrants. This discoloration is not harmful and will clear up if you let your water run for a short time.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but by flushing the system we improve the quality of the water delivered to our customers. Customers are also encouraged to check for discolored water before doing laundry or washing dishes. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
